Back in the day I had an old BSA 650 that would blow the heal off my boot if the kick start didn't make it all the way through stroke before it fired. Hurt like hell!

I had similar as my first bike at age 14 was a Ducati 250 Monza in early 60s. Kick start was on the left and would take the hide off my ankle occasionally. I would get off the bike, on stand, and kick it with right leg standing by the bike and never lost any hide that way. I would start it and then sit on the seat. The ankle and leg burns from the mufflers and pipes hurt too.
